I also started looking at this thread, what I want to do is somebody from a different network joining someone (Quest) else on another network (PC), so once Server and one Client, do you think if I do the same alteration that BioMedKUL is mentioning, I can achieve that? Is the IP Address that you enter upon joining the server, the server IP address? (new to the Server/Client relationship)

Okay, so I tried the new updated Collab Viewer template from 4.26. The weird thing is that it does support the Quest in its blueprints (e.g. by creating custom user names to join thus removing the need for the online keyboard) but whenever I load it on the Quest, it shows me the default level without a way to join a session. I did manage to make it work on the Quest using a 3D widget and the virtual keyboard.

Would it be possible to host a session from one quest and have remote access from another quest, using vpn on the oculus? Also wondering if the host version packaged for pc would need to be the exact same?


Thanks to the power of VR, you can experience the feeling of watching movies in a theater (or a variety of locations really!) with friends anywhere across the world. I've compiled a list of VR movie apps that also feature multiplayer, and best of all these are all free!


There are several different ways to enjoy watching movies in Big Screen - share your desktop and stream services like Netflix, Hulu, Youtube etc to Big Screen, play video files directly from your computer, device or cloud, or you can watch or rent popular movies directly from inside Big Screen itself!

One thing that makes Big Screen stand out from the others (besides its fun environments and social options - I'll get to those later) is the fact that you can actually watch 3D movies, no glasses needed! Now to be clear, don't assume that just any movie can be watched in 3D. You'd have to rent or purchase a movie that actually has 3D support. Watching a movie like this is absolutely fantastic and makes you question how this kind of technology is even possible in VR.

Bigscreen has some of these 3D titles specifically to rent in their catalog, you can tell them apart by the circle on the top left that says '3D'. You can also watch some 3D trailers in app to get a feel for what these will look like.


Speaking of environments, Big Screen offers a wide selection (many pages!) of locations to watch movies in, that vary in size and style. Some of these include a traditional movie cinema, cozy living room/home setups, drive in movie style, to sci-fi themed stadiums. All environments are very high quality, you'll have a hard time choosing!


Last but certainly not least are the social features. You can create your own avatar and customize it to your heart's content. Big Screen uses spacial voice chat meaning if someone is sitting on your left, you will hear them out your left ear, and if they are further from you, they will sound further. Don't worry though, during the movie you can mute or block people in case they are being too loud or have background noise that might be ruining your experience.


You can find more information about Bigscreen here, it's available on Quest, Steam, Oculus PCVR, and Desktop (via remote desktop). Big Screen also supports cross platform so you Quest users can watch movies with Steam users, and vice versa!


There are a couple of different ways you can access these events. The first is from your Meta Quest menu, simply open up your library and launch the 'events' app. Browse from the listing and simply select one that looks interesting - if you have Horizon Worlds already installed you will get dropped directly into the experience.


You can also access them from directly within Horizon Worlds itself, by clicking the left menu button to bring up the Horizon Worlds dashboard. Then select the home button, click the green 'attend' button, then select an event from there.

Not to be confused with watching movies from inside Venues in Horizon Worlds, Meta's 'watch party' feature allows users to invite their friends over to their 'Meta Horizon Home' environment to watch Oculus TV shows together.

Anything you watch together must be through the Oculus TV app, in here you'll find different types of 2D, 3D, 180 or 360 videos to choose from. You'll mostly find nature, science and space documentaries, a few concerts and animated short films.

Some of my personal recommendations include any of the Immersive videos (360 footage from dirt bikes etc), the Scream Park series by BlackBoxTV, Adam Savage's Tested VR, and David Attenborough in First Life.

To get started, you'll need to create a party, using your friends list, and simply invite them over to your Meta Horizon home. Then simply navigate over to the Oculus TV app, and watch together!

There are a few worlds that include giant embedded screens that work like a web browser. Unfortunately you are limited to pasting direct links to videos like you can grab from Youtube, but some of the more popular VR Chat movie watching worlds have done most of the heavy lifting for you and offer clickable libraries with a lot of popular options to choose from.

Here are some of my favorite movie watching worlds to try!
(Note, you must be signed into your VR Chat account to be able to view and add these).

Movie & Chill is a VR chat world centered around movies. They have a really extensive library of films to choose from, broken down by genre, and time period. There are several different areas in which you can watch from, all controlled from the same player so no matter where you decide to move, you won't miss a thing.

Despite the name, this world isn't just any other movie theater. A lot of TLC was put into this world to give it a really true to life movie theater feel. Everything from the detail of the interior of the theater, the high quality screen and surround sound. It also features a "comfy room" or more bedroom styled area to watch movies from if you prefer a more from home feel.

Instead of watching movies from a theater, another unique way of watching movies with friends is in a home enviornment that features TVs in the living room, study, kitchen, bedrooms and more. This world is beautifully designed and decorated, features some other things to do such as a pool table and other mini games.

You can find more information about VR Chat here, its available on Steam, Quest and Oculus PCVR with cross play available. All of the worlds featured above except for Yet Another Movie Theater are playable on the Quest and PCVR versions of VR Chat.

Available on these platforms: Steam, Quest, Oculus PCVR

We have oculus quests and I want the kids to put in the 6 digit share code when they go into Firefox browser then to CoSpaces. When they at the CoSpaces website, I do not see the hand with the dots to allow them to put in a share code. They have to log in. This defeats the purpose of kids viewing other students projects in VR. Am I missing something?

Remote has never been ordinary. We began as a fully remote company more than a year before the COVID-19 pandemic in our quest to bring better global employment solutions to the world. Today, we continue to push the boundaries of what a distributed organization can be.

Remote Labs is a new internal project at Remote where we invest in research and adoption of new collaboration technologies and best practices for remote teams. Everyone at Remote can contribute ideas or propose potential solutions to common remote work challenges. By formalizing this process into Remote Labs, we can better understand the challenges and opportunities remote organizations encounter, learn more about available options, and allocate resources for experimentation.

Our organization is growing rapidly. We have added dozens of new team members in the last few months, and we have dozens more on the way. Founding Remote Labs now allows us to formalize our commitment to a future of work that is not only remote, but also one that is consciously and deliberately beneficial to global teams.

We make it no secret that kindness is the number one company value at Remote, as outlined in our public employee handbook. Working across different cultures, borders, and time zones makes it easy for misunderstandings to get between good people. To combat this, we prioritize kindness in all communications and make a practice of assuming the best of our colleagues. New initiatives from Remote Labs must first pass the kindness test: Will adopting this new thing help or hinder our continued efforts to be kind to one another?

Plenty of tools claim to provide major benefits to remote teams. Not all of them measure up, though. Excessive adoption of tools can lead to confusion and frustration, so we only want to pursue opportunities that can provide Remote with enormous gains in productivity, collaboration, and connectivity. Remote Labs helps us identify the best of the best to ensure everything we roll out on a larger scale will benefit the business and its people.

Remote is not just a fully remote company but a fully global company. We have team members in multiple time zones on multiple continents. Every consideration at Remote Labs must be one that can benefit our global team. Remote believes strongly in the power of a diverse workforce, and any innovation that would limit our ability to engage with our people all over the world does not have a place in our business.

Using these headsets, we hope to reach new levels of collaboration and community with our global teams. Virtual reality allows team members to stand side-by-side with colleagues all over the world. We can play games together, hang out in VR spaces, and hold meetings in virtual office rooms. As the VR space matures, we expect to use our headsets for several more purposes.

This week, we hosted our first Remote VR Day to allow our team to explore the possibilities with their new headsets together. We used apps like Spatial and Rec Room to hang out together; Beat Saber to test our reflexes and rhythm; and BigScreen to watch videos as a group. We even plan to host parts of our holiday party in VR this year.
